Diamondbacks re-signed INF Carlos Rivero to a minor league contract.

The 28-year-old delivered a nice season at Triple-A Reno in 2016, slashing .277/.316/.484 with 19 homers and 72 RBI in 446 plate appearances. He'll continue to provide depth in the minor leagues for the D'Backs and could get a chance with the big league club at some point in 2017 should injuries strike. Jan 28 - 8:25 AM

The 27-year-old spent the 2014 season in the Red Sox organization and is now heading back to provide infield depth. He was hitting .256/.296/.372 with eight homers and 40 RBI in 96 games at Triple-A Tacoma. Sun, Aug 9, 2015 05:14:00 PM

Mariners re-signed 3B Carlos Rivero to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Diamondbacks placed INF Chris Owings on the 60-day disabled list with a fractured right middle finger.

Owings suffered the injury when he was hit on the hand by a pitch during Sunday's game. He was set to undergo surgery on Monday, with the expectation that he'll miss eight weeks. The move essentially rules him out through the end of September. It's a real shame, as Owings has enjoyed a breakout year. Ketel Marte should see most of the playing time at shortstop once he returns from the bereavement list, but the newly-acquired Adam Rosales will fill in for now.

He's off to Philadelphia to meet with a specialist. Tomas has been out since the first week of June and there is obviously no timetable for his return at this point. He could very well be done for the year. Tomas, 26, is owed $13.5 million in 2018, $15.5 million in 2019, and $17 million in 2020.

Robbie Ray (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Visalia on Thursday.

Ray got through a 50-pitch simulated game over the weekend with no issues and the Diamondbacks considered re-inserting him right into their rotation. However, they ultimately decided that one rehab start would do him some good. Ray has been out all of August after being hit in the head with a line drive. He'll be back next week assuming Thursday's outing goes well.

The procedure went according to plan, per the Diamondbacks. Miller will miss the remainder of the 2017 season and probably the first half of 2018 as he works his way through the typical 12-15 month rehab process. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.78 ERA in 24 starts since joining the Diamondbacks ahead of the 2016 campaign.

De La Rosa has been plagued by arm issues all season, logging just 7 2/3 total innings of relief at the major league level. This will be the second Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery of his career and his rehab will likely last through the entire 2018 campaign.
